11:11 Projects Youth World-Building Workshop

This free, one-day workshop from 11:11 Projects is designed for youth ages 10 to 19 who want to explore world-building through art and storytelling. Held at Carter Sexton Artist Materials, the session introduces participants to the process of inventing characters, imagining environments, and developing the connections between them into a coherent story world.

Students will be guided through creative exercises that help them think about how characters look, how settings shape a narrative, and how visual details can bring an original world to life. The workshop focuses on both rendering ideas clearly and presenting them in a way that communicates story and atmosphere, making it a useful creative experience for young artists and storytellers interested in illustration, design, and imaginative writing.
